Whitney's Choice of Emblemes 82

Homines voluptatibus transformantur

See here ULISSES men, transformed straunge to heare:
Some had the shape of Goates, and Hogges, some Apes, and
Asses weare.
Who, when they might have had their former shape againe,
They did refuse, and rather wish'd, still brutishe to
remaine.
Which showes those foolishe sorte, whome wicked love dothe
thrall,
Like brutishe beastes do passe theire time, and have no sence at
all.
And thoughe that wisedome woulde, they shoulde againe retire,
Yet, they had rather CIRCES serve, and burne in theire
desire.
Then, love the onelie crosse, that clogges the worlde with
care,
Oh stoppe your eares, and shutte your eies, of CIRCES cuppes
beware.
